#101 - When Your Church Doesn’t Share Your Heart for Evangelism (Part 2)

What do you do when your church doesn't share your heart for evangelism?

In this episode of Gospel Talks, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave continue their conversation about a pastor's struggle when the church he leads isn't actively reaching the lost.

The answer isn't simply to preach another sermon on evangelism.

Pastors must model it. They must bring people with them, equip them, help them take their first steps, and coach them through the fear and uncertainty that often keeps Christians from engaging their neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members.

George and Jeff also talk about what happens when a church has developed a negative reputation in its community. How does a church rebuild trust? How long does it take? And what does genuine repentance look like when a church has become known as inward-focused?

From modeling evangelism to praying for open doors, from loving difficult neighbors to rebuilding a church's reputation, this conversation challenges pastors and church members alike to stop talking about evangelism and start living it.

The harvest is still plentiful. The question is whether we are willing to become the laborers God has called us to be.
